Bra-shaming

Hello.

Today I'm going to write about something rather disturbing...well, at least for me: Bra shopping. I HAVE to write about it...writing about things helps me to get over with them. So here we go:
Today me and my mom went underwear shopping. I think that this is sooo shameful! But I know it has to be done. I felt very uncomfortable in a shop full of bras and undies! Well, of course I went undies shopping before, but the difference is that the shop we went to this time was sooo much more stylish than the old lady undie store last time. Oh, because last time, I told my mom that I only want grandma underwear, because anything else is too shameful!!! 
So...I was in a cabin and tried on one of the more stylish bras. Then I called my mom who was in the other cabin, but mom said she won't come over to check, I should ask the nice assistant lady. I didn't want to ask the assistant lady, because...BECAUSE! Stranger danger. But finally I had no other choice ;_; I was so surprised; she was actually really nice! Also, I was happy that the bra fit! 
And not only that...it also made my waist look longer, how cool is that!? But then I realised, that I don't look that bad, so I was scared and started bra-shaming. I told my mom that this is horrible and I hate bras, and that I wanna go back to the grandma bras!!!!!  But mom said "No Venus listen to me, I'm still 22 years older than you, just like yesterday!" and I said: "No mom if you buy this bra I'll never wear it!!!" 
Then the assistant lady & my mom laughed & talked about how shy I am, and that there are girls who are more outgoing. And I was like "Whatever! Bras are shameful!" My mom told me that I should grow up a bit more. But I said: No mom, I want to be kawaii & kinda retarded forever! 
I like being kinda retarded & shy, it makes me feel cute ^.^ But what if it is not cute...but really just childish and dumb? ;_; Mom told me I should accept my body, but I can't! Well, I'm sure I could...but I don't want to. I think that accepting your body is a shameful thing, too. @_@
What do you guys think? Should I try harder growing up?

How To: Kawaii On A Budget

Many people ask me how to be kawaii with less money. Here is an answer I wrote about 1 month ago on Tumblr . I posted it here so more people can see it and it won't disappear in the flood of my Tumblr posts! ♥

☆+ ﾟ .+ .ﾟ.ﾟ｡ ﾟ ｡. +ﾟ ｡ﾟ.ﾟ｡☆*｡｡ . ｡ o .｡ﾟ｡.o｡* ｡ .｡☆+ ﾟ .+ .ﾟ.ﾟ｡ ﾟ ｡. +ﾟ ｡ﾟ.ﾟ｡☆*｡｡ . ｡ o .｡ﾟ｡.o｡* ｡ .｡

1.- Time

Your kawaii stuff accumulates by time. Some of my kawaii items are 7 years old XD I have clothing items, which are 4 years old! When I go shopping and I see something I like, the first thing I do is look at THE PRICE TAG. If the price is ok, I get it or I get it not! I can be 1 hour in a shop because I’m only buying the best thing with the best price, and I want to be sure that I know what I’m doing. Btw, I think that there are a lot of people that have more kawaii stuff then me, I just know HOW to make it look like a lot XD 

2.- ONLY Kawaii

Whatever you need, get in the kawaii version! Pillows, bed sheets, pencils, food, ironing boards, toilet paper, cups….If you start buying the kawaii version of your everyday needs, you’ll get kawaii soon! ; D 

Oh, and, the kawaii version of that is NOT more expensive than the “normal stuff”!

3.-Let your friends know what you love!

If you have good friends, or family members, let them know that your a kawaii addict and show them your kawaii side! So when you have Birthday, you’ll get something kawaii for sure! My more expensive clothes, like Angelic Pretty, BSSB or just stuff that you can only get in Japan, were presents!

4.- Get it 2nd hand!

2nd hand BSSB, Angelic Pretty, and Vintage clothes! Google helps you finding 2nd hand sellers in your near! : D Also, 2nd hand is more than half price cheaper!

Shops you can get stuff cheaply:

H&M

Pro: Was always my favourite for shopping since I was 6 years old. lol. :)

Contra: Has some more sexy mainstream stuff too, but not that much so I can’t really say a contra.

BODYLINE

Pro: Affordable, cute lolita clothing and cosplay

Contra: The quality isn’t bad, but not on “designer” level! You get what you pay for!

TOPSHOP

Pro: Has promotion sometimes, and very nice accessories which are not that expensive!

Contra: Do have some cute stuff, which is, indeed, sometimes, yes, expensive like wow.

PRIMARK

Pro: You can get there so many kawaii clothes you’ll drown in them!

Contra: The quality is not very legit! XD

Promotions

Pro: Hit the expensive brands during promotion seasons. A great way to get designer stuff for low prices.

Contra: Still expensive, so you have to save money throughout the year.

Promotion season means also, crowds and queues. 

Do it yourself

Pro: Sewing your own kawaii clothes is a great way to save money and own something others don’t! You can get cheap, cute fabric and lace in most sewing stores!

Contra: Requieres a sewing machine and skills.

Additional: When I was 3 years old and we didn’t have enough money in Switzerland, mom sew me my clothes! I still have most of them <3 I remember that people told me, that “I look cute again” haha! Memorieeeeeessss! <3333333

Ok, hope I could help! <333

Happy Easter Chocolate Time!

HELLOW EVERYONE

AND....

HAPPY EASTER ! ! !

Or should I say Happy Easter Tea Time?! ; D

Because yesterday ❤MOMMY❤ and I went to Costa and had fun fun "tea time" with 20oz hot chocolate   and yummy coffee-walnut cake!!

The hot chocolate was seriously HUGE and monsterloaded with whip cream! And the whip cream was sprinkled with cocoa powder! The hot choco was a lot, but I managed it all!

 I know, that I probably could have kept a bit for another DIY choco mask, but sometimes putting things inside works outside as well! 

OMG look!

The cup is bigger than my head! (lololol)

I THINK THAT INSIDE THE CUP IS A JIGGLYPUFF. FOR SURE!

Cake, Reader.

Reader, Cake.

I hope you will get along well! 

The cake has name! It's called: Coffe Walnut Cake!

Tastes even better than the name sounds! It had a creamy topping!

Don't worry, the cake didn't have coffein in it, it's ONLY THE FLAVOR! : D

And...

After a realxing morning tea time we went to  Harrods !

The things in Harrods are cute and soooo lovely, but pretty expensive too!

I saw some awesome bags....like the one which is like a golden basket! Huhu!

I didn't take pics of the store inside, but I tried on a cute outfit from GUESS!

Perfect for summer! 

Actually, I don't even like to expose my skin in summer that much, because of the bad and evil UV rays, which are the strongest during that period of year and can cause cancer and photoaging. And also because I'm not a friend of tanning/sunbathing, you knooooow? But I definitely would wear this outfit with a light jacket or something ...

So we spent a big time of Saturday in Harrods, after all,  it's a huge shopping centre, right?!

They have tons of of cosmetics there, and I tried out many mascaras.....my lashes started looking weird after applying 3 layers of different mascara...But it was fuuun!

♪The day my lashes bathed in mascaraaaaaaaaaaaaa♪

♪shalalalala♪

We also got cute cosmetic products, which I will show you then in my new tutorials! 

Anyways the time passed like ice cream in an 200°C heated oven!! ; D hoho

So outside of the Harrods universe we saw uber cute cakes, but then we decided to lunch something healthier, cause we already had cake in the morning, and seriously, I don't want to turn into pom pom purin's size!!!

So mommy and me like Japanese food, so when we saw a restaurant called "wasabi", we went there to eat a bento! 

I LOVE BENTO!

Mommy had a sushi bento and mine was a chicken katsu bento (pic above)! 

(katsu is short for katsuretsu = cottelette). 

My bento was with edamame salad and japanese rice.  I think that the rice there might be nishiki because of texture and consistence, which I like so much! It was so yummy! : D 

I had a lovely EASTER WEEKEND!

HOW ABOUT YOU?

Anyways, let's have fun and a nice time!

Many puchi chu chu from venus!

❤

I will hide Easter cupcakes in your garden!

HELLO! AHHH! *HUG HUG HUG HUG* 

How have you been? 

Oh, thanks, I'm EXCELLENT, no, nooo, BRILLIANT!!!

Well, since you've done this long way to my blog, I'd like to offer you a cup of tea. 

Here you go!

Oh, I love you

Ah, this is actually camomile tea. I haven't got anything different at home. Excuse-moi

Oh, be careful, It might be too hot. TOOO HOT!!! 

OMG YOU SPILLED THE TEA GFDZJGJBKUZG

Don't worry, I'm not angry. It's just the carpet of this blog entry.

Swipe ya cursor and it's clean. See? Isn't that bad : D

ohohoho

I'd LOVE to offer you some homemade cupcakes, but I just got some new tools from....

parapara bam bam, ohhhhh yeah:

  IKEA!  

Ikea is kawaii, I think! I go shopping there since i'm 7 years old, I think! WOW!

The reason I think that Ikea is kawaii is BECAUSE...they have many cute items in pastel colours, cute patterns and shapes...and when you dress cute, your home should look cute too, right? After all, it's not home sweet home, when it would be bitter. Home bitter home. I wouldn't wanna go home if it's cold and dark in my nest (made of wire) . But I like going home having cuteness in my nest (made of cotton candy) . Oh yeah. : D

Oh, right, CUPCAKES!!!

Don't worry, theres only a very tiny possibility I forgot what I'm going to talk about.......

The basic for baking cupcakes! I couldn't bake cupcakes because there wasn't any basic for cupcakes in my kitchen's cupboard...But now there is!! And it's cute! CUTE CUPCAKE BASIC!

So anyway, what's the mots important for baking cupcakes besides the recipe?

Cupcake Molds! They are a part of the cupcake basic, you know? 

Guess what, they are from iiiiikeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaa! And they look CUTE! VERY CUTE! SUPER MEGA ULTRA CUTE!

But not only that, they are made of silicon, yeah! SUPER SILICON! YEAHHH!

So this means I can use them more than just once, and it's also muchy muchy easier to push out the cupcakes (if you feel like......)

Well, with silicon cupcake moulds life never gets boring! Especially not when that mould is pink and flawaahh shaped! ✿

My favorite part of making cupcakes is making the topping!

Especially the icing is very omnomnomnomom. But as everything has a price, yumminess costs calories.

ehehehe.....

And as I told you before, the topping is my favourite part, you can guess that I like, no I LOVE mking the topping AS CUTE AS POSSIBLE!  (cuteness is unlimited, I think, but whatevvveerrr rawr, meow)

Anyway, TADAAAAAAAAAAAA!

I always wanted to have a piping bag to make my cupcakes uber cute! But now, EVEN BETTER, it has got caps in cute shapes! OMG, my cupcakes will look like princesses, I have to start giving them names, awww, sob sob

What an artistic snapshot of mine! : D Well, still just piping bag caps, but good piping bag caps. Oh wait, there's something SERIOUSLY WRONG. Ö.Ö I mean CUTE PIPING BAG CAPS! : D

And another think I like in IKEA is the nomy swedish food! Ohoho

I love seafood, such as prawns! Yay!

Oh, and I have NO CLUE what kind of bread that was but I think it must be rye...hm. Yeah I guess so.

Anyway, very nomy sandwich! : D

Today is Good Friday! WOHOOO, EASTER HOLIDAY! I wear a fluffy white parka because I'm a easter bunny! I will hide Easter cupcakes in your garden! or flower beet! or bath tub! or or even in your bag of crisps! or in your tea pot! 

BE AWARE, VENUS' CUPCAKES CAN BE ANYWHERE!

made in london

Bottled Eyeshadow!

Hooohooo, hello every♥

Remember my blog post about that Super Barbie Pink nail polish? Oh well yeah, so I told you that I bought it with an "3 for 2" promo...uh, right! ^^ This is the 2nd part of it, yeah! Let's continueeeeeee.....

Though it's so simple, this is something I never had or saw before!!

As you see the pic above im holding the item, lol. DId you figure out what it could be? If you dont already know and started guessing know, then don't read the title. SPOILER ALERT, LOL XD 

Basically it has the shape of a small cup, filled with eyeshadow and then you stick in a brush. =_= This just sounds awkward. I mean that the eyeshadow in that bottle fabricated as powder, and the long black stick has a brush on it.

You swipe the brush on your eyelid and makeup is done.

 Supereasyandputinhandbagable.

It's so smooooooooooooooooth hmmhmmhmmmhmh.

They come in a few colours. I can remember seeing gold, brown, pink, silver and black ones. Oh, and of course green. Hehe. 

It's from MAX Factor too, as this promotion was limited on items from them - I like MAX Factor, so yeah, nothing to mock.

I only use eyeshadow sometimes...sometimes. But this might be something I could use more often! 

Looks good with my red and orange lip gloss. But using natural colours, like beige, would be better for an everyday look, I think. tehe☆

SEEE YOUU!!! SOOOOON!!

Super Barbie Pink!

New nail polish, huhu ^^

Awww, everything looks better on long nails but it can be really so hard to let them grow out....

And they often break after a certain amount of time!! HNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGG!!!!

I don't use fake long nails because I'm still so young but I try my best at letting my nails grow naturally!

So I do things like various coats of nail polish and shaping my nails to make them stronger, so they don't break and can get longer. Also, filing your nails "rounded" is better than "straight" because the round shape gives a stronger structure.

My Manicure Routine: 

1.- Shaping

2.- Polishing

3.- Base Coat

4.- Nail Polish

5.- Top Coat

Various coats of nail polish form like a protective wall on your nails, which makes them stronger so they don't break! If you choose the right products, then they take good care of your nails and give them elasticity.

That's how I do my nails! ♥

I own different nail polishes, but not all colour suit me well...because my skin is so pale it can be really hard to find nail polish...Black looks too gothic, orange like Halloween, Baby Pink too much like flesh (ewww, but lol  hehe ><), blue looks bit akward...so yeah, colours like red, yellow, forest green or this super barbie pink I got today at Superdrug! yay!

  

I bought it using a promotion: 3 for 2!

This means, if you buy 3 items, you only pay the price of 2! Basically, you get the cheapest item out of 3 free. Isn't this awesoooome? OMG, I tell you guys, only shop with promotions, lol, but it makes more happy, knowing the fact that you get 1 item free! FREEEEE!!!! wohooo! But of course you plan it well, like me for example ; ) hehe, so I choose 2 items for the same price, and the cheapest one is 1£ less expensive than the other 2 and turns free! Yep, yep, yep. That's how ya do it.

Soooo, well yeah that's the first item I choosed! Blog entries about the 2 other items are coming soon, so check out my blog frequently♥

The colour catched my eye and it was love at first sight (lol) because the colour was soooo bright and spiked out of all the other neutral tones! The polish is from Max Factor, and they call this colour "Disco Pink", but when I saw it, I thought it was the "Super Barbie Pink", lol ^^ But it's so hard to find nice pink tones, especially when I lived in Tenerife there were very few shops that actually sold polish in an acceptable quality...TT_TT And also because I have a pink nail polish which I used pretty often but actually didn't fit my skin tone well, so yeah I'm happy that I found the perfect nail polish colour, so from now on I will wear it often (I think I will wear it ALWAYS though, not "only" often, lol XD)

Looking at this colour makes so happy. It's my "wow" colour. lol. You know when you see something and just wanna say "wooooooooooow. Actually I say something  like "waaaaaaaaaaaw". idk lol XD

Differences between London and Tenerife!

Hello everyone!
How is everyone? Having cold? Having warm?

I tought it would be fun to nibble on my jersey...^____^ It was!!

Me, im not just fine, im also happy! In London, im happier than on Teneriffe, despite the cold weather!
Actually, its easier to catch a cold in Teneriffe than in London! I had about 2 - 3 colds a year in Tenerife...
Air in London differs from the one in Teneriffe alot, you know?  There is a type of weather that is quite common in the Canary Islands, its called "calima" (dry smog).


This phenomen happens when dust particles from the Sahara are transported per wind to the Islands.  The canary Islands is geographically in Africa, but politically its a part of Europe. Tenerife is the 4th of 7 islands of the archipelago.  Back to the calima, you can recognize it when the sky changes its colour into a light grey brown tone, the mountains appear as a silhouette, the weather becomes very hot and it hardly ever rains. Thats, of course, because of the dusty air, and when the air is clean, you can see the mountains better because there is no dust that can manipulate sight. Dusty air can be a problem for people with asthma...so if you want to spend your vacations there just make sure you check the weather report! ^___^


By the way, its mostly warm in Tenerife, but thats also the reason why I havent got so many warm clothes...Most of them are light shirts and stuff! So I took as many warm clothes I have to London. After two visits, I knew that London is a cold (and sometimes rainy) place. Yes, I already was two times in London before I immigrated.
Soooo thats why mommy and I went shopping for some wam clothes. Ok...I dont find shopping fun...Especially because of these reasons:

1.- It takes time.
2.- It takes money.
3.- It takes nerves.

But I found something I like!!

Tadaaa! This "Oscar Loves Trash" jersey!!

Oscar is a character from "The Sesame Street".

I choosed this one because:

1.- I like oversized jerseys.

2.- I like cartoon characters. 

3.- I like it that the character has got a monobrow! This beats shimura kens eyebrows in baka tono!!

4.- I often do eyebrow gags in my niconico live broadcast.

5.- The red of the tee is not too strong. I dont like a too reddish red, as I find that it doesnt fit with my pale skin tone...>_< In a strict sense;  this jersey has the right red tone for me!

Oscar loves mayuge!! ^_^

Another thing I think is cool, that on the back of the tee, is also a quote and Oscars eyes and monobrow!

Me, wearing my new favourite piece!!

Fuh, I made a whole blog post about this jersey! (^.^);;

After all, its my favourite one! 

Have a nice wintery time, 

Sweet Greetings

Venus
